Preface This is a paper I delivered at the American Academy of Religion on November 7, 2009 in Montreal for the Religion and Music Consultation. I was introduced by the chair of the group, Ted Trost of the University of Alabama with the following text: Once upon a time, Kris was a professional...
I'm just venting. There's no intent here to work through - I do that every day with this situation. You may think I'm the worst person you've ever met after this, but you won't be the first. Sure you won't be the last. I just need to get down to the nitty gritty and dish before my head explodes....
So for our group project I have been looking into the area of content. These are the kinds of questions I have been asking myself. (yes, this might repeat from earlier posts) What areas do we want to cover? Do we actively exclude certain topics because other places are covering that information and...

Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Buy a DVR and tape your late night shows and get more sleep. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, ‘My purpose is to...
I have pretty much completely lost whatever blogging voice I used to have and I do blame Twitter for that. Years ago it all came so easily, this flow of words and the ability to form paragraphs full of thoughts. Now when I write something, anything, it reads like a Twitter post to me. Every single...
Dear iTunes, Your Genius tool in the iTunes store is a very useful one for me, particularly since I recently lost a long list of potential CDs to buy and artists to check out. I enjoy the fact that I can be matched up with artists that I would potentially like. However, I have a few bones to pick...
I am really addicted to different Addictions that come and go quickly. Not so long, i was addicted to Marathi Blogging. I was blogging like anything. It was a post per day like that. Looking at the comments, i believe i haven't done that bad. 'Vampire Diaries' put a break to my blogging. I got...
ALL CHANGE THIS JOURNEY TERMINATES HERE! So I’ve been missing for a long time, not sure if there is anybody still checkig on me but I will attempt to explain why. I’ve been dreading doing this partly because I know some one could be reading this, but I can’t pretend everything is hunky dory, I...
The phrase, 'classical music' is a foolish one. It expresses nothing; its generality and vagueness insults centuries of effort. Yet, what else does one say? I use it myself when I ask permission to play a 'classical music' station. Because to many people it is nothing but passionless symmetry, soft...
Having moved to the Marina, I no longer walk to work downtown. This is kind of a bummer, as I really enjoyed my 20-minute trot to the office each day. Instead, I now do what millions of Americans do each day to get to work - I hop on the bus. Specifically, I ride the "30X" - an express bus that...
Not as expansive as American Pastoral, but searching, incisive, brilliant, and quite the page-turner. While I found Roth's last, Exit Ghost, to be an anemic excuse for Roth's long literary rants, this one is a living breathing story on its own. Ira Ringold, the Communist in the title, is a tragic...

Hey there, kittens! Back from vacationing in one of the most beautiful cities in North America, we’ve been reflecting on memories and pure shenanigans of the trip that was; where we said buh-bye to sobriety, emptied out our wallets dry and even lost our dignity. Oh dignity!...where are you?...come...
As mentioned in the last entry, we stayed down in San Diego for the weekend to see the Mets play the Padres on Saturday night and Sunday day at PETCO park for the final 2 games of the 4-game series. I decided to stay at the Manchester Grand Hyatt for a night, which is also where the New York Mets...
I just finished reading blogger misy3l's current blog and it got me thinking on my Lolo's 1 year death anniversary lunch. I really don't know how to feel about the lunch. First off - it's not in a place that I believe is reverant enough to celebrate his life or is of a pleasant place where many...
Friday’s conjunction of the moon, Jupiter, and Neptune marks a vital decision point concerning new romantic commitments, social planning, and long-term security. All signs will experience a powerful wave of truthfulness, emotional awareness, and, for some, challenged trust. No mystery here; this...
Sex and Hell - consider sex issues in the light of the Bible Is it important and worth while to consider sex issues in the light of the Bible today? If one values one's life and future, one will take seriously what God says about sex. ***1 Cor 6: 9 ¶ Do you not know that unrighteous persons shall...
